AB  - Using newly derived explicit algebraic forms of the first- and secondorder derivatives of the Green’s function, interior point solutions for the displacements and stresses in 3D generally anisotropic elastic bodies are obtained using the
boundary element method (BEM). The approach, which follows the same vein as in
BEM for isotropic elasticity via Somigliana’s identities, has not been successfully
achieved previously in the literature due to the analytical difficulties involved with
using the non-explicit forms of the Green’s function. The veracity of the formulation and implementation is demonstrated by some examples.
